“Issis was awesome!!”
“Nelly did a great job with my senior pom! She was very attentive to all the directions and even took notes. Would definitely have her dog sit again in the future.”
“Luba is truly the best! A sudden change in our work schedules left us overwhelmed with our young puppy, and she stepped in right when we needed help. She’s been incredibly kind, reliable, and communicative. Our puppy absolutely loves her, and it’s such a comfort knowing he’s in great hands. We’re so thankful for her support and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Tina was perfect! We were looking for someone trustworthy and experienced and we definitely got that. She responds to messages quickly, came right by for a meet and greet, and got along perfectly with our kitty. Our cat was coned and needed oral medications but Tina handled everything without any problems. She stayed and played with her and sent us pictures and gave us updates for every visit. I feel confident that our cat is in good hands with her and will not hesitate to book her again.”
“Nicolas was PHENOMENAL watching my cat while I was away for business! He was very accommodating with getting access to my apartment, and went above and beyond sending updates. Nicolas will be the first person I go to for my future cat sitting needs and can't recommend him enough!”

6. Sarah K.
“Over the last decade of working and being friends with Sarah, I have yet to meet a soul who has more love for animal life. Petsitting for friends is a regular activity for her, and if the calls I've received during those times are any barometer that matters, those animals she cared for received care and attention that should be the standard for all pet owners. Technical excellence is a moral obligation as it pertains to caring for life, both friends and pets alike have had the experience of receiving that care. It would truly be a disappointment to forego any opportunity to meet and work with Sarah.”
7. Isai C.
“Isai would provide safe, loving care because they genuinely understand the needs of pets and have a compassionate approach. Their experience in caring for animals shows they are attentive and responsible, ensuring that each pet feels comfortable and loved. Additionally, Isai has a great attitude and goes above and beyond to provide excellent customer service, always ready to address any concerns with a friendly smile. It's their kindness and dedication that truly make them an awesome human being!”

17. April R.
“April has been a lifesaver during times when I had to travel and needed a last minute pet sitter for my bunny Patch. Not only is she reliable but she is also trustworthy and caring. April made sure to maintain Patch's area clean and made sure his hay remained well supplied, she also gave me regular updates about how he was doing and that gave me so much peace of mind. This was especially meaningful to me given that my Patch is very timid around new people but she ensured his transition into her care was stress free. Patch warmed up to her so quickly I was shocked as he is usually very shy but he was giving her kisses by the time I returned! If you're looking for someone who will take care of your fur baby like they are one of their own then I wholeheartedly recommend April. I know my bunny is in great hands when under her care and I know I can rest easily knowing that if I wanted a update its only a message away.”
